F****** disgraceful.

It's always been a friendly board and I'm genuinely embarrassed for the other members.






The guy's been a member since November of 2005...... So I guess that doesn't quite qualify as a new member, now does it?


Which brings up the question................... Why is he getting special treatment?

Terry came on asking a simple question about a forum. That is a fair enough question for anyone to ask regardless of the member being new or more long term. For an established poster just to respond with fuck this forum and fuck whatoever is just not cool. Sure we all have a mental flip sometimes but some people have a habit of doing such things again and again, and obviously it happened again.

Nutkins came back with some screwy banter involving vocabulary that seemed to go over a few heads! And that prompted further attacks on the said Nutkins. To be fair to Nutkins. He kept his head and responded with more of his, quite corny and actually quite funny responses.

Its not like any long term member here gets banned without being given enough chances. Even Royal gets the chance to reemerge before being flushed every now and than. We have a pretty tolerant site but at the same time have a pretty civil and clean site (on the main boards anyways).

Its not like VD has been banned for good. He will serve out his short sentence and will be back. VD can be a very good poster, he would be an even better poster if he could iron out a few chinks in the civility department.
